Thank you very much...really appreciate that! Lots more coming 🙂 I think I have some that will hit hard coming soon...I think the video tomorrow will be a really good one! "Scouting Summer Buck Beds"...hope they all help

So true Adam and thanks a lot for watching! Your equipment list sounds perfect! I have a basic food plot equipment vid coming out soon...within 2 weeks and I stress this really hard at that time too. Many channels take sponsors and then shape their own practices to fit the sponsor. I like to actually show what works best for me and most of my clients...and then fit a sponsor to that system if applicable. I felt I was forcing it a but in the last with using a drill because it doesn't apply to 99% of my readers or viewers. Even my clients who pay up to $3000 to visit with them for 1 day, are rarely ever a fit for 30-100k+ in equipment. Oh well glad this hits home for you and there is a lot more to come regarding this area! I even talk about in that video how you can do a lot simply with a hand held broadcaster and backpack sprayer...

My wife and I are limited to our 25 acre homestead. We like to mainly hunt for Deer and Turkey.... sometimes Dove. So this year I'm trying to blend plots to attract all. I know that's probably not ideal nor recommended, but I have to start somewhere. Looking forward to the new videos!

Thanks Brian...really appreciate it! All is very good...hitting Canada fishing with Dylan and Dante next week 🙂 can't wait! Still putting out videos tho, lol

Thank you very much! That's great to hear...340 acres and a food plot addict can take you far 🙂 really appreciate it!

Hope all is OK Randle! Raining here pretty heavy right now

You are welcome Drake! Do you get a lot of rain? Buckwheat is perfect for bad soil...but it does need moisture and can't take prolonged periods of drought.

Whitetail Habitat Solutions well that is exactly what I will try. Again thank you so much for your input you are the only guy that responds back thank you you helped me so much in the last year you don’t know what that means to me,!!!!

@@DRAKED411 Drake that means a lot to me to hear that! I have to be honest and can't answer everyone...but I do try! I think that's why per views...I get several times more comments than the other channels. It's important and I live doing it. I set aside on average an hour a day and I hope I don't have to stop that any time soon. Let me know how it works! With moisture that buckwheat grows FAST, and is easy to plant into later. I'm just worried about your heat down there...hopefully you get a lot of moisture but not too much

you dont need a tractor. Spray the whatever, weeds/wheat with roundup, spread seed by hand. Then crimp the dead stuff with something, whatever, I use a cultipacker

When I say minimum amount I mean the minimum mount of acreage before it’s wiped out by the deer thanks again

That was a great product! I used it for planting in 2017 only and in the end it wasn't really a good fit for what I personally do, or for the majority of my clients, viewers and readers. I occasionally recommend them to my clients but even then it is a small % for a fit. I really have a passion for teaching folks how to plant without 10s of thousands of dollars of equipment. In 2008 I stopped using my tractor and tiller for planting because I could be more efficient without it...actually planted 18 acres in 3 states of my own plots that year with an ATV, hand held spreader and cultipacker. 7000#s of seed and fertilizer by hand that year 🙂 Just going back to my roots and I think folks can relate more... Again that is a great product! I hope that makes sense. A lot less storage space I need now too, lol.

In some cases just not planting any plots. Weeds are the #1 problem for food plots and even more so for switchgrass. They have to be controlled. Revolving plantings of rye and buckwheat isn't s bad option and I have actually mowed the rye in the Spring with a line trimmer in the early 2000s to kill it, after hand spreading buckwheat. There are options such as the buckwheat and rye rotations that you can plant without chemicals for marginal food plots. You can plant clover and continually mow, but it doesn't take long for the clover to slowly disappear. Using tractors, brushhogs, no till drills and crimpers is an option, but even then you are very limited for what you can ultimately plant for having high quality food plots in small plots on small parcels....let alone large parcels. Im my experience you can lose 80% of your food plot volume due to weeds, which turns a 10 acre plot into 2 acres of potential "quality" food during the Fall. Sure, there may be some weeds in that deer eat during the Summer, but those same weeds are dead during the Fall and you can't count that food for the hunting season. I've always had between 1 and 8 acres on the lands I have hunted, so I can't afford to let weeds eat up my plots instead of deer. Whatever I plant...it has to be weed free or I shouldn't really waste my time to plant. I look at as what do I need to have growing for myself or my clients...and then what is the best way to get there based on my resources or my clients, readers and viewers resources.

That sounds great Bob and thank you very much! Yes you sure can...just have to make sure that the seed hits soil. Also, make sure of what seeds you are planting with open soil. Brassicas, clover, chicory, rye or wheat can be thrown on top of the soil, beans and peas can not be, unless covered up a bit with soil...or in the case of what I am doing, the dead and decaying buckwheat. I hope it all helps!

Bermuda grass cut once but grown up before poison. Will mow high and poison then spread seed. Will this work in western east Texas

Thank you very much! You can just seed, then roll and crush it (it crushes easily) but I prefer to seed, roll/crush and then spray to keep it down, kill any low broadleafs and also to make sure the buckwheat deteriorates quickly

Hope this helps further... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZ2lg7eUqrKdZ2w.html

When is the buckwheat planting ? And when is it ideal to crush and plant fall plot in Wisconsin ?

Very helpful.Do you always use buckwheat as the warm weather plot, and either vary or use the same cool weather one?Thanks again

Yes you can do this exact same thing with buckwheat, I would recommend to cultipack the buckwheat as Jeff shows in most of his food plot videos, buckwheat has a lot of moisture in it so when you plant the seed within the buckwheat and then pack it down all that moisture goes directly onto the seed for almost instant germination

@@WWOofficial Will a heavy duty smooth wheel cultipacker terminate buckwheat?

@@tigerintheboro it’s not going to terminate it however it will knock it down and provide a great cover over your seeds while they are germinating and in that early growing stage, the buckwheat will germinate the seeds almost instant and provide some cover so the deer and birds can’t eat your plants down to the dirt

@@WWOofficial Thanks for the reply. So I am assuming I should spray the buckwheat after laying it down (as Jeff explained)?

Crazy rain this year...well, weather in general!

Whitetail Habitat Solutions makes me wonder what this winters goin to be like. Be safe out there brother good night GOD BLESS.

Yes for sure Randle...as long as you get those beans on soil!

Whitetail Habitat Solutions got it brother thanks good night and GOD BLESS. Thanking bout goin after hogs for a little while in the morn I’ll have to wait and see how the weather is.

Not really dude, bushogging will disturb the seed. Just crimp the dead stuff, I use a cultipaker.

? He is spraying off the back of his fourwheeler, Why would you wear a mask while spraying that is just stupid, don’t be a baby I have sprayed many times in a tshirt and shorts and never had a problem I think you and the rest of the public will be okay🥱👍
